In the dead of night, an elite SWAT team led by the battle-hardened Commander Nathan Voss is deployed to investigate a total communication blackout at a classified underground research facility. What begins as a standard rescue mission quickly descends into a waking nightmare as the team finds themselves trapped with something not of this world. The facility was experimenting with interdimensional technology — and they opened the wrong door. As the corridors bleed with shadows and teammates vanish one by one, Voss must battle not only the unspeakable horrors stalking them but also his own shattered past. Facing intelligent, shape-shifting entities that thrive in silence and darkness, the team must uncover the truth behind "Black Vault" before the entire city — and possibly the world — is consumed by the anomaly.
